Following widespread bipartisan criticism, President Donald Trump said Saturday his Doral resort in Florida would not host next year's Group of Seven summit of world leaders after all. "Based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020," he tweeted. "We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately."
The president had been under fire for the choice, announced Thursday by acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, because it could ultimately benefit him financially. Mulvaney said world leaders would be able to stay at his resort at cost. But even pundits on Fox News, Trump's favored news outlet, criticized the move as a violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause, which forbids gifts of any kind to a president from foreign leaders.

I thought I was doing something very good for our Country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 Leaders. It is big, grand, on hundreds of acres, next to MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, has tremendous ballrooms & meeting rooms, and each delegation would have...

.....its own 50 to 70 unit building. Would set up better than other alternatives. I announced that I would be willing to do it at NO PROFIT or, if legally permissible, at ZERO COST to the USA. But, as usual, the Hostile Media & their Democrat Partners went CRAZY!

....Therefore, based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020. We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!
Ya, why should we do anything in the cheapest manor possible. No, we’ll spend without limit to please the DC establishment. It’s only tax payer money after all.
Ying/Yang for the press.
They get the summit to move from Doral. They don’t get to stay at Doral
Enjoy the bus ride daily to Camp David, media slime!
Good decision by Trump. Now the Rat @ssholes can shut the h*ll up.
Let’s screw the Us taxpayers more, It ain’t costing Trump anything.
Camp David —— Yes! Secure, Great Food, Gates to keep Press out, etc.
Down side for attendees -—— No Hookers!
A few Tents in a field
Well, they got what they wanted, eh?
I hope they choose Camp David, accommodating the fake news @sses will be difficult. Good. Let them suffer and whine.
Thank you “no class” democrats and media. They are so so so so so so jealous of our President it is downright disgusting.
“ Now the Rat @ssholes can shut the h*ll up.”
Not gonna happen.

The delegations would probably have loved to meet at Doral. They will be stuck on country roads to Camp David as well as the media.
He takes off pay check and they are worried?
I nominate one of the following Peoples’ Democratic Municipalities: Baltimore, Chicago, or Detroit so the world can see how the Democrats get things done.
Too bad.
He should not have let the jealous idiots influence his decision.
They should pick up the press on yellow school busses with no AC and no toilets every day for the event too.
Don’t forget Los Angeles.
If these leftist tools had any ounce of patriotism they’d relish the idea of an American president not only hosting the G7 on American soil but hosting it on his personal property.
Would be killer.
But, no, emoluments and other inanities. Sorry, you just hate yourselves.
